I stayed here during Golden Week. I was worried about getting a good night’s sleep during such a busy period, but the capsule room was not noisy at all, and I was able to stay quietly and comfortably. Although it was drizzling, they provided rolled-up newspaper to put inside my shoes to help them dry faster—such thoughtful service really helped. It’s perfect for enjoying an out-of-the-ordinary solo trip. Thank you for having me; I’d like to stay again.
Yahoo!トラベルユー... 5/6/2026The best capsule Hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The sauna seems to be this Facility’s main feature, and it was excellent. I wasn’t expecting much from breakfast, but it was also very delicious. A Facility with great value for money. Highly recommended!
